Should it be difficult to pull-start a rtr?

It's kinda hard for myself.
I've already gotten blisters.

It is going to be so nice when we get questions like....How long does it take to charge the batteries............lol.

It can be a pain but that is unfortunately the nature of RTR vehicles.
Mainly a hassle when in the break in stages.

Blisters are normal LOL! for RTR's. They should be a little hard but if it is not starting and gets alot harder to pull all of a sudden then it could be flooded.

First return the needle settings to factory specs. Remove the glow plug, turn the vehicle upside down and give it a few tugs on the pull start to release the flooded gas. Next check your plug to see if it is still firing, then replace the plug. Next you should lean out the high speed needle about two hours and also increase the idle speed a couple hours just to get it to run. Increase the idle until you get the vehicle running. After it runs for awhile and the engine is warm, you need to make sure you leave the correct 1.0mm gap in the carburetor and check all your settings again. Break-In procedures are essentially the same however, all vehicles are slightly different and settings may need to be adjusted accordingly. I always suggest returning all needles to factory specs and then lean out high speed and idle speed from there. There are plenty of other variables that can cause start up problems, so start here and let us know what happens...
